If you had a family member.......
.......who was terminally ill and had absolutely no chance of recovery and they asked you to help them end their life and end their suffering, would you??

Although I wouldn't want them to suffer....."Thou Shalt Not Kill"
I would hope they would understand.

No, it's not up to me to end a person's life. Only God can make that decision. I believe that by helping a person commit suicide would be committing murder on my part. I also believe that a person who committs murder will not see the gates of heaven so I could not help them knowing where they would spend eternity.

I don't think I could do it. I would live the rest of my life thinking "what if"

Wow. What a loaded question....
I sat here thinking about this before I answered  ...... but I'd have to say no. These days I HOPE doctors dont let people suffer and lingerif someone was in terrible pain and crying to end it & with me knowing about it only - - I may be able to deal with that ....I've seen my husband break down due & it's very hard to deal with that kind of raw emotion - but I couldn't do it for someone I don't think. I guess I really don't know... but I do know one thing - no one should have to live in terrible pain waiting for their death day - if there are drugs.... then give them the drugs. |

I would like to say if a loved one asked me to help them pass I would but the truth is I do not think I could.
Yet for an animal no question we take them ofF to the vet and do not let them suffer should there be a differance if we love someone???? |

No way!! I've always known I get myself too involved with others but after reading the topic of this thread it hit me as to where Id have to draw the line. This would definitely be it!!
